Not in all cases. Not all bacteria can harvest sunlight, so to these bacteria light doesn't matter and they will grow equally fast in light or dark assuming there is a equilivalent energy source. For bacteria what can use sunlight there is a definite difference in growth between light and dark cultures.

Some bacteria may grow faster in the dark because they do not need sunlight for energy production. However, other bacteria may require light for certain metabolic processes. Overall, the growth rate of bacteria can vary depending on the specific species and environmental conditions.

Yes, they are called chemoheterotrophs and many of them live in the deep, deep ocean, where there is zero light, around hydrothermal vents. The bacteria that live in water and require sunlight are called phototrophs.
